Can't get SPDIF to NOT w

Howdy,
I've noticed several people having problems with SPDIF not working properly. Well, at my computer (with an X-Fi Fatalty) it just works to darned good!
I started Windows Media Center and configured it to use the SPDIF, and now I get wonderful digital sound from all my videos and music in Windows Media Center/Player. However, I just can't seem to get sound from my headphones anymore (connected to the headphone output on the 5.25" front panel). I can click the "Test" and "Noise" buttons in the Audio Panel and hear sound from the headphones, but no applications or games produce any sound through the headphones.
When I open the Windows Volume Mixer, it opens up to SPDIF Out by default, and next to that volume slider is "Applications - Windows Sounds". When I change the device to Speakers instead, the "Applications - Windows Sounds" disappears, and I believe that is the reason the no games or applications can produce sound through my headphones.
How can I make it so that games and applications produce sound through my headphones again? Preferably while still putting out sound to the SPDIF.

Hello again,
oops, I must have missed your last message... sorry for that!
I have to say, that I don t have my digital sound system that long, that I can answer this question for sure. However...
You re right, that it should be possible, although I wasn t able to find a way to do that... yet... Somewhere (don t know if it was this forum or another place) I ve read, that the SPDIF support for Windows Vista isn t that nice at this time... perhaps a new driver will solve this
Furthermore... I don t use the Media Center that much. So I don t even know if there is any option to set the output device (within the application Media Center). That would be important to realize "the best of both worlds". Explanation: If you want headphones support, you (always) have to leave the Speakers device as default. Other applications (such as Winamp,...) allow us to set the output device (in Winamp for example you can set it under the preferences Output -> Directsound device) to the SPDIF device, although we have selected "Speakers" as default in the control panel... nice, isn t it's For sure... if it would work...
That way you don t get a(n) AC3/DTS signal via SPDIF... so, if you use Windows Vista (I can't answer your question related to other operating systems, because of my newly purchased system -> I haven t used it on XP) the only way that I know ( til now) is to select the SPDIF device as default...

    If the app is G-Toolkit and you have a Gmail app on your iPhone, delete the Gmail app.  Apparently the G-Tool kit is tied to a Gmail app.  From searching the web my impression is that G-Toolkit is not spyware and is from a legitimate company that produces app for several platforms.

  • How can I get missing contacts, notes, calendar dates and reminders that are just on my old iphone onto the iCloud for transfer to my new iPhone upgrade?

    Dear wise & wondeful people:
    How can I get missing contacts, notes, calendar dates and reminders that are just on my old iphone onto the iCloud for transfer to my new iPhone upgrade? Half of my contacts, notes, ect. were on my iCloud so have happily moved to my new iPhone but the rest are completely resistant. For example, on my iCloud I have 14 missing contacts starting with the letter A alone, however they are happily viewable on my old iPhone 4S and won't budge over into the iCloud.
    There are also 3 notes missing yet still acessible on my onld iPhone 4S, the list goes on.
    Your help would be most appreciated. Thank you so much.

  • How can I get the link not to override my style sheet formatting?

    I have an html page with text that has a style sheet applied
    to it. When I insert a link into parts of the formatted text, the
    style sheet formatting is lost in the linked text (the text for
    mylars, shapes and number shapes becomes smaller: see code below).
    How can I get the link not to override my style sheet
    formatting?
    Here is the html code I am referring to:

    Show us this rule --> bodyheader20pt?
    Also, having this in your three anchor tags -
    style="text-decoration:none" -
    will prevent your anchors from displaying any stylesheet
    style for
    text-decoration.

  • How can I get the galaxy note 4 to ring longer?

    how can I get the galaxy note 4 to ring longer?

        kick143
    Making sure you answer your calls on times is important.  All phones have a standard amount set per rings before a call goes to voice.  We are unable to change settings to make the phone ring longer.  Sometimes purchased or recorded ringtones  can cause the ringing on your end to seem shorter.  Do you currently have a customized ringtone on your phone?

  • Hi, I' ll be San Antonio from 8-10th of Oct and want to buy an iphone 5. According to forums there is no unlucked yet. Thus, can i get simlocked but not contracted phone from any store? and is that possible to use that phone in Turkey without any prob.

    If you purchase the phone at the full contract price and have no term left on your carrier contract, the carrier will unlock it for you. That's what I am doing with AT&T. I'll pay the full purchase price for the phone and since I don't have a contract with them, they will unlock it for you. It can be difficult to get it done since most of their customer service is very ill informed but I have had many discussions with them on their chat that I have records of them stating they will unlock any phone if you do not have an existing contract. It's the law.

  • If I buy a new iPad now, which version can I get iOS 6 not iOS 7? iPad mini version 1?

    If I buy iPad mini version 1 now, can I get iOS 6 not iOS 7? I really don't like iOS 7. Or can I get iPad mini versin 2 with iOS 6 as a special request for my order? Thanks.

    I agree with Texas Mac Man. Many stores that have stock of non-retina mini might still have ios 6. Apple id only selling non-retina ipad minis in the 16 gb version. I just checked Best Buy and they are selling the 32 and 64 gb versions, so should have ios 6. They're pick up at store only, so they're clearing out old stock. Check with authorized Apple resellers and see if they have any. Act fast, though.

    Hi,
    Unfortunately I have to tell you that the described behaviour is not
    an Error but SAP Standard behaviour.
    Please see note 448814 question 7.
    In SAP Standard it is not foreseen to take over the header text of a
    PREQ to a PO !
    You can try to use BADI ME_REQ_HEADER_TEXT .
    I have found a document which gives coding for Purchase Requisition Header Long Text using Badi - ME_PROCESS_REQ_CUST:

  • How can I get WebAS to not start-up after restarting Windows?

    I would like to not have my WebAS auto start after I reboot windows.
    I found of couple of options in Configuration tool but they did not stop it.
    We have a firewall product that I cannot disable (per security policy), but I can terminate it once I get the desktop.  However by that time WebAS has started and encounters blocks from firewall, and once this happens, half the time it causes my jcontrol.exe to result in NIETIMEOUT messages and once THAT happens I have to uninstall and reinstall EVERYTHING. 
    So, how can I configure WebAS to not automatically start-up after rebooting windows?  I have searched help.sap.com and looked for options in Visual Admin and Configure tools.

    Easier than it seems
    Go to Administrative Tools/ Services in Windows.
    Change Startup type of the services to Manual.
    You can just sort by the 'Log On As' Column
    ".\SAPServiceJ2E"
    or whatever you instance name is. You can always start the service from the MMC console after this.

  • Firefox crashes but the dump has been uploaded, how can I get the dump(Not the raw dump in bugzilla )?

    I meet a problem that firefox happens to crash, but i can not get the dump because it has been uploaded?
    Is there any way I can get the dump(Not the raw dump)?

    This problem is not a pop-up. First of all the problem did not start until Yahoo changed their set up for ads in Yahoo Games.
    Once it did start, the ads do not "pop-up", it is a vertical bar that is there all the time. You cannot get rid of it.
    By the same token, it is not a Yahoo Problem since the problem does not exist using another server.
    Yahoo says it has to do with some add-ons or plug-ins in Firefox that is causing the problem.
    As you can see by the screen picture, one third of the game screen has a vertical ad area. I want to get rid of it.
